Kenyans will bear the brunt of the higher Road Maintenance Levy (RML) for the second month in a row as fuel prices remain unchanged despite a drop in the landed costs of fuel.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has kept prices unchanged at Sh188.84 and Sh171.60 per litre of petrol and diesel respectively, in Nairobi for the period September 15 to October 14, 2024.
